by the local Salvation Army organization

grounds seem to have attracted nu umber of
toughs from the surrounding country, and
there was a good deal of whisky consumed
Dy number of the young men. Several
rows were inaugurated, but nothing serious
tr.lnspirei until dog fight was started by
the owners of two curs. This attracted
large crowd and in the midst of the canine
controversy "A dispute started between John
Ryan and a son of f. NJ Minear The last
named man came TO the rescue of his boy,
when Frank Mayes attacked him. Minear
knocked Mayes down and the affair was
thus quieted down. About dusk, however,
the row again started. Mayes threw large
rock throught the window of a cottage occu-
pied by Minear. The latter at once turned
out, when Mayes shot him through the heart
with revolver, death being instantaneous.
The murderer was taken to West Union and

Nearly Drowned in a Mine.

NANTlcoKE. Pa, Aug, 26.--Terrible excite
ment was caused Yesterday in the fatal No. l
shaft al this place, by the breaking away Of
earth barriers that separated worked-out
portion of the colliery from the chambers,
where mining is in progress and the sudden
precipitation of large body of water into
gangway where over three hundred miners
were at work For long time past a huge
subterranean reservoir has been forming,
containing millions of gallons Of water. This
underground lake was $50 feet below the sur
face. The chamber where the men were at
work was 100 feet further down and about
the same distance from the mined galleries.
The first iniimation these men had that
the mine was being flooded was the sudden
appearance OF water in the chambers. As it
increased in depth many hurriedly quit
work and rushed 20 the bottom of the shaft.
BY this time regular exodus from all parts
OF the oolliery set in, the miners wading
through water breast high before the last of
them got out. The work of rescuing the
men was proceeded with promptly, the steam
carriage taking up twenty al time. All
sorts Of rumors were set adrift, and the
mouth Of the mine was crowded with anx-
ious women and children exhibiting the
usual alarm and frantic demonstrations.
Luckily all were taken out safely. Ninety
mules perished Work will be suspended for
an indefinite period, as the water is still run
ming in Had the earth fissure been wide
enough to admit the whole volume Of water
at once not man would have been saved.
